1970s ABC and Farm posters by Graziela
A blast from the past, but the ABC and Farm posters by Graziela would still look very cool in a modern-day kids room.
They look similar, but these Graziela Preiser designs are from different ends of the decade – the ABC poster was originally designed in 1970, while the Farm poster was designed in 1977. Not that it means anything – the bold colours and look of each are unmistakably Graziela.
These reissues are official, screen printed with vegetable ink on 100% recycled paper, sized around 50 x 70cm (which fits a standard Ikea frame) and hand-signed by Graziela Preiser, making them something of a collector's piece. Not that they come with a high-end price – both sell for £22. See the other poster over the page.

1950s & 1960s American School Desks
If you don’t have a child of your own, find a child (any child!) and buy one of these American School Desks for them.
The desks originate from the USA, dating back to the 1950s and 1960s and are being sold in the UK by Pedlars. They have a good stock of them, in a choice of grey/blue or brown, although something this cute probably won’t be available for long. The desk top rotates and there is extra storage space underneath the seat, ideal for stowing away books and pencils. The desks cost £175 each.
Visit the Pedlars website to buy.
